    It was $3k. Can't beat that for a reliable 4x4 in good condition. It's so damn slow though.

    Man, those jeeps are gas guzzlers, when my car was in the shop I had to drive one for a couple weeks.

    I have a volvo 740gl, I'll post pics later.

    It's a heck of a lot better then my mustang. Mine is a 4L non-HO. The newer ones feel quite a bit more powerful.

    The Jeep? Mine is a standard btw. It has 220,000km and it feels pretty tight still.
    I had to replace the radiator a year ago and that's it. It uses very little oil.

    Mine does not have a RPM gauge so this light comes on when it wants me to shift. Maybe it's lasting so long because it never sees above 3500rpm..?
